what's in a name

What the hell is with these self indulgent, I’m retarded and can’t spell, not thinking this kid is going to be an adult someday given names?  Are parents getting revenge for the terrible twos years before the event or are they just looking to have something to laugh about when their kid gets the crap kicked out of them? 

I have recently heard a slew of real winners.  One of the best is Zohar although it does limit the guy’s options of being either an Israeli hair dresser or the evil dark lord bent on killing Buzz Lightyear.   Let’s not forget Toi Lynn.  I suppose when she breaks into porno she won’t have to change her name.  So I guess it’s a win, win. 

Jonakin.  A guy or little bowl for quiche?  Mishaam???  Oh, gesundheit.  Then there is Deavante who can hopefully rap since I just don’t see this name on the CEO of McDonald’s business card.  Hunter.  I know this is a popular name and it does have a cool sound to it but what’s next?  These are my kids; Hunter, Golfer and Archery?

Of course if you aren’t enough of a nut job to actually pick some of these freaky-deaky names you can always choose a more common one and then spell it retardedly.  I have a family member whose name is Siobhan.  Fancy, huh?  Well, it gets better because you actually pronounce this Shavaughn.  Hello, my name is Fred.  How do you spell that?  Oh, it’s B.O.B, thank you very much.   How about Kortny and Kamrin?  I have a Camryn in the family and thought that was bad but Kortny and Kamrin?  Hope dad did what he should have done prior to Kortny and got snipped otherwise I fear Kornholeio may be on the way.
